I know you guys like “behind the camera” stories and a lot of you wondering how much they would like to do just “something” around the porn set! I am not talking today about all these who want to be a porn actors – I was mentioning that in some past articles so I hope all of you guys consider everything well, before you continue trying so hard to be porn actors 
!
But today I am going to focus on other “behind the camera” guys. We have basically director, production manager, we have camera and photo guys, sometimes lighting guys or even mic guy – separate, but nor very often and some big production also have huge catering and many assistants doing what needs .
We have medium size of team – well depending of each production but that is still not really what I want to talk about, it was just to explain separate jobs for better set view. I was talking lately about many cases why is porn very hard job, but I was only talking about performers. Yes I had many arguments with camera guys, directors etc etc, but I have to tell you that they are many times in such a hard and difficult situation as well.

Actors doing even worse if camera guys are amateurs and shoot takes forever but also camera guys and the rest of the team could be having such a bad time, when actors work is not professional and takes forever – for example they could wait for cum shot sometimes about hours!
They have to have a perfect skills about cameras, lighting and all technique stuff, if they don’t, they are in trouble. How I say, if you are working with professional team, you don’t even know about them, they just do their job and just time to time say or only show by eye contact their suggestions. I like photographers and camera guys who know what they want to do, then the work is very simple and also pleasure for performers.
I remember some very busy camera guys in LA, they were working many days with no day off, because simply people can pay them a lot just to get them on set, because of they great skills and knowledge how to shoot a movie in the best way. Sometimes I was working whole week, everyday for different production and still see almost the same camera guys . The same stuff was with makeup artists.
There are about five the best makeup artist in Prague, but Prague is small so it is not that hard, but imagine LA, there are also not to many really good makeup artists who know to do great make up for porn use. And also bad make up artist can mess up your day directly from the morning, because if there is some bitch, pulling your hair like a crazy, putting kilograms of sticky make up on your face, making clown from you, it really can piss you off!
And very good make up artist make your day, she doesn’t talk so much, do job in the best way she (he) can and when you feel beautiful it makes you comfortable and you do much better scene! I would like to that to Maria – make up artist from LA, she always did the best job from all over there and always I saw her on set I knew that even I will not have the best guy for this scene, I will definitely have the best make up and feel like princess!
Thank to Chris – camera guy and also, of course Miles Long, these two guys are simply the best camera guys I know! I cannot remember all these great photographers whom were shooting for Vivid, but I would like to thank them as well, great job guys!
I am not going to talk about my bad experiences, because better to not remember these . But big thanks to all professionals who knows what they are doing and they do it great! Barbara Summer
and winter time coming very fast. Here is a beautiful fall in Prague, very colorful and also warm but I am not really happy about winter at all. That is why I have a name Barbara Summer, because I love summer and warm and sunny weather. I hope winter is not going to be very cold, I specially hate when my car is frozen on the morning!
